FIG. The six framework components divide responsibilities. This diagram is a conceptual overview, not an execution schedule.
ComponentResponsibility
InitiatorShared schemas, migrations, integrity and data governance.
AggregatorApproved source acquisition, transfer preparation and evidence retention.
ProcessorStaging, normalization candidates, analysis and controlled canonical projection.
ProspectorDiscovery of provisional literature, media and authority evidence.
NavigatorSource-aware public research projections and citations.
PersistorApproved packaging, deposition and persistent identifiers.

The framework distinguishes original source evidence, inference, canonical representation, dissemination and preservation. A public view is a projection of a data state; browsing that view should not silently rewrite the underlying evidence.

Supporting components

Monitor observes status and freshness without changing research data or running jobs. The musiXplora Bridge imports and explores versioned person snapshots. These components complement the six core responsibilities.
